    Three Wheeled Buggies

    Whether you’re looking for a buggy to run around in or a nifty stroller to tackle strolls around the neighborhood, three-wheeled buggies provide great mobility. Their compact design makes it easy to maneuver even in tight spots.

    For an easy ride, opt for a pram with air-filled tyres. Also, look for models with a 360deg front swivel wheel. They are prone, however to punctures. Make sure 3 wheel buggy have an emergency repair kit.

    Frame made of sturdy material

    The latest figures have been released revealing that the three-wheeled buggie – a symbol of the noughties of more money than wisdom – is in steep decline. Four-wheelers are replacing them, and are more versatile and easy to drive, while also looking elegant.

    The larger the wheels are, the better your buggy can deal with bumpy and uneven pavements. The larger wheels on both the front and back also makes it easier to manoeuvre and more stable when walking downhill or on difficult terrain.

    MFM reviewer Kath tested the buggy with a newborn and a 3 year old and found that it was able to handle cobbles, grass, rough roads, dirt tracks and kerbs. Kath said that “it is sturdy to push and very solid when going over difficult terrain. The tyres, which are inflatable and require to be pumped up occasionally they have suspension built-in. This was extremely comfortable for my kids.

    The shape and size of the seat is a further factor to consider. The seat should be big enough to allow your child to be at ease and to lie down. Some three-wheel buggies offer the option of lying flat, which allows your child to lie flat and face you, while others only allow a face-to-parent one.

    The Roma Atlas is a great option for off-road or wet walks. This buggy can be used as a single from birth, and then expands to take two children when your family grows. It is suitable for infants and toddlers until age 4 and comes with a bumper bar, raincover, an improved 5-point harness and a spacious cushioned seat unit. Storage options are also good, with a large basket and zip pockets on the hood and an attractive pouch on the rear of the seat unit.

    Larger wheels

    Larger wheels will give your buggy greater stability when driving on rough terrain. This is ideal for off-road buggies. They also allow you to move the pushchair around tight spaces. Many three wheeled buggies have the front wheels that swivel to aid you in maneuvering around tight corners, while others are specifically designed for running and have fixed front wheels that lock to improve the speed and stability with the speed at which they can be pushed. This is particularly useful when you crash into a tree or a kerb. The front wheel will lift slightly to keep it from hitting it.

    A lot of 3 wheel pushchairs have air filled tyres which means they can be used on many different terrains and are more adaptable than 4-wheelers. They are also lighter. They are prone to punctures, so you will need to have repair kits and an spare inner tube on hand.

    Mountain Buggy Core, Venicci Carbo and Venicci Carbo Lux are some of our favourite 3-wheelers. These buggies, according to MFM’s Kath, have larger wheels which she claims “perform well on grass, gravel roads and market town cobbles”, and can easily go up or down kerbs. They also have a suspension system which in her words “smoothes out bumps very effectively”.

    Buggies with bigger wheels can be quite wide, and they may be a challenge to fit into tight spaces. This is a problem if you’re using it as a jogger or you need to maneuver through doors that are narrow when out and out and about. The majority of models come with small folding options that let you remove the front wheels and store them more compactly.

    Easy to Manoeuvre

    One of the major advantages to a three-wheeled buggy is that it is much more maneuverable particularly with a child in the back. The way they are constructed means that the front wheels rotate at a whim and are incredibly maneuverable which makes them perfect for difficult terrain such as parks, cobbles, bumpy pavements and dirt tracks.

    MFM reviewer Kath tested a 3 wheeler with her toddler and newborn and wrote: “The Terrain was a delight to maneuver on the ground and the swivel front wheel being particularly helpful. I was also impressed with the way it handled kerbs when using the hand-operated break. I found it to be extremely steady when I was driving downhill or over uneven terrain.”

    The only drawback to this great maneuverability, is that the larger wheels of a 3-wheel buggy may make it difficult to fit into tight spaces. This is something to keep in mind when your home is one of the cities. If this is a concern, a 4-wheel buggy might be a better choice for you.

    Bumper bar

    Bumper bars can shield your child from bumps and scrapes when they are out and about. They are quick and easy to install and make your child feel secure and safe while out on the town or on the trail.

    This bumper bar is designed to complement the sleek lines of the sleek lines of your Slim Twin stroller. It comes with a soft, padded surface that offers a comfortable place for your child to grasp onto while walking. The durable construction and sturdy design ensure that your child will enjoy strolling around town without worrying about falling out of the buggy or leaning too far in the direction of.

    The fabric sling seat sits in the frame, snugly instead of sitting on top like modular seats, delivering the lower centre of gravity at the right height for your baby and also providing an excellent weight distribution to facilitate kerb pop (it takes less effort to push a buggy up and over a curb than you might think). MFM reviewer Kath said it’s excellent on cobbles and grass. It’s also a good option for running with its tyres that are filled with air and a locking swivel wheels.

    With a sophisticated and stylish design This bumper bar will surely attract attention wherever you go. It’s available in a variety of finishes and colors to suit your personal style. It comes with a simple quick-release mechanism that makes it easy to install and remove the bumper bar as necessary. The bumper bar is easy to clean as it is constructed from sturdy materials. This makes it an excellent choice for families who want an elegant and safe accessory for their stroller.

    Comfort

    A 3-wheel buggie offers the most maneuverability and performance when going off road. This style of buggy is simple to steer and turns in a flash thanks to its perfect geometry engineering, weight, and distribution.

    The seat is made of fabric placed snugly within the frame rather than over it like modular seats, the Sport’s clever design permits it to have a lower centre of gravity, which is at the ideal height for your child – providing you with a smoother push, a less hefty curb pop (you don’t require the same amount of weight or effort to pop the nose of your buggy up and over a curb) and a greater balance and stability. And with the huge rear wheels measuring 16 inches, lockable swivel front wheel and air filled tyres that require just a few pumps to give you a bump free ride over rough terrain, and a smoother more comfortable jog as well.

    As the only pushchair in our collection that comes with a parent-facing seat that can also take the form of a car seat or carrycot, you can future proof your family and have fun on every moment of your day and for years to come and all within the footprint of one buggy!

    Kath, our MFM reviewer, also appreciated the spaciousness of the buggy. There’s a huge, easily accessible basket that’s quite spacious for a buggy this small, plus there’s an excellent zip-up pouch on the rear of the seat unit, and two smaller mesh pockets in the hood for your phone and keys.
